Pros

Good product. Cool office. Lower level employees are driven and smart people. Its too bad management doesn't acknowledge or encourage that. In any other environment collaboration and success would thrive!

Cons

Don't let the good reviews fool you, they're written to promote the company directed by management. I have NEVER known a single employee (current or former) that has anything positive to say about the company. Bottom line is that this company hires new talent, squeezes them dry of their potential and ideas, chews them up and spits them out. If you work at DynaTrace be ready to walk on eggshells because mass layoffs are common and the turnover rate is incredibly high. Working at DynaTrace for 1.5 years I had 5 managers - most of which were forced to "resign". Management does not care about their employees and the feeling of under-appreciation and uncertainty of the company, your position, and your future is always present. Do not expect your ideas or time to be valued. If you want to be the type of employee to work 60+ hours regularly, not have an opinion, put your head down and say "yes sir" - this is may be the place for you. Do not expect to be promoted because that is impossible in this company. They only higher management from external sources. The politics at this company are heart retching and sick. So all I can say to those who dismiss my warning and accept a job at DynaTrace, watch your back. You are replaceable and that is beat that management drums to. It has been a year since I have worked at DynaTrace (formerly known as Compuware APM) and I still have not recovered from the emotional abuse of working at this company. I am not writing this review as a disgruntled employee, but as an attempt to prevent you from working DynaTrace. They beat my soul and confidence down and it still haunts me. Luckily I again have found a company that loves my work, values me and supports me professionally. I hope you pass on any opportunity at DynaTrace because its not worth it.

Pros

Decent Product Great Perks Co-Workers

Cons

A lot of what happens to your career is beyond your control. You can be a top performer and still only meet satisfied in remarks. The customer success departments went through some changes earlier this year and it left it splintered. A lot of toxic environments take place in pockets and everyone is cliqued up. I suppose you could say this is like every corporation, but this was junior varsity level office politics. If you made someone upset you could be next. Most of the executive leadership and brings in their buddies who have no idea how the product works and all of the veterans have left by now. It's mostly a game of grab behind and brown nosing.
